Summary of the clinical practice manual for late-onset hypogonadism

Hisamitsu Ide, Yuko Akehi, Shinichiro Fukuhara, Shin Ohira, Sumito Ogawa, Tomoya Kataoka, Hiroshi Kumagai, Ko Kobayashi, Akira Komiya, Kazuyoshi Shigehara, Takahiro Syuto, Jintetu Soh, Makito Tanabe, Hisanori Taniguchi, Koji Chiba, Kazuhito Matsushita, Yozo Mitsui, Takahiro Yoneyama, Tomoya Shirakawa, Yasuhisa Fujii, Hiroaki Kumano, Hajime Ueshiba, Toshiyasu Amano, Haruaki Sasaki, Seiji Maeda, Atsushi Mizokami, Kazuhiro Suzuki, Shigeo Horie

Summary: Testosterone is crucial for maintaining physical and mental function. Age-related testosterone depletion leads to various conditions such as angina, arteriosclerosis, obesity, metabolic syndrome, dementia, and frailty. Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) refers to the condition of age-related testosterone depletion and its associated clinical symptoms, which can be treated with testosterone replacement therapy. The indications for this therapy depend on the evaluation of symptoms and physical signs.

Late-onset hypogonadism: Clinical evidence, biological aspects and evolutionary considerations

Nikolai Jaschke, Andrew Wang, Lorenz C. Hofbauer, Martina Rauner, Tilman D. Rachner

Summary: As life expectancy continues to increase, there is a growing scientific interest in finding medical interventions to alleviate age-related pathologies. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is seen by some as a potential solution for aging men, although its safety remains uncertain. Data from the animal kingdom highlights the plasticity of individual testosterone trajectories across the lifespan.

Summary: The diagnosis of adult-onset hypogonadism should be based on clinical and biochemical parameters. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can improve sexual function and body composition, particularly in simpler and aging patients. More research is needed to better understand the long-term efficacy and safety of TRT.

Testosterone treatment of late-onset hypogonadism - benefits and risks

Peter Snyder

Summary: As men age, their serum testosterone concentration declines, especially in the free testosterone concentration. Testosterone treatment can improve several consequences of this decline in older men with low testosterone concentrations, but it may also increase some risks.

New perspectives in functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: beyond late onset hypogonadism

Matteo Spaziani, Francesco Carlomagno, Chiara Tarantino, Francesco Angelini, Ludovica Vincenzi, Daniele Gianfrilli

Summary: Functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (FHH) is a common condition with unclear pathological mechanisms. It has replaced late onset hypogonadism and is associated with various diseases and medication use. FHH results from impaired hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal axis function and is diagnosed by excluding organic causes of hypogonadism. The underlying pathologies may be heterogeneous, but the mechanisms leading to FHH are similar, involving impairment at the HPG-A level. This paper provides an overview of the relevant mechanisms and discusses clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects.

Efficacy of testosterone replacement therapy for treating metabolic disturbances in late-onset hypogonadism: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Si Hyun Kim, Jae Joon Park, Ki Hong Kim, Hee Jo Yang, Doo Sang Kim, Chang Ho Lee, Youn Soo Jeon, Sung Ryul Shim, Jae Heon Kim

Summary: This study demonstrated that testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) showed greater improvement in metabolic profiles compared to placebo, especially in markers such as HbA1C, HOMA IR, insulin, and leptin. Further well-designed trials are needed to verify the effects of TRT on lipid profiles. This systematic review suggests that TRT can exert a net beneficial effect on metabolic profiles.

Key features of puberty onset and progression can help distinguish self-limited delayed puberty from congenital hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism

Yuri Aung, Vasilis Kokotsis, Kyla Ng Yin, Kausik Banerjee, Gary Butler, Mehul T. Dattani, Paul Dimitri, Leo Dunkel, Claire Hughes, Michael McGuigan, Marta Korbonits, George Paltoglou, Sophia Sakka, Pratik Shah, Helen L. Storr, Ruben H. Willemsen, Sasha R. Howard

Summary: This study aimed to elucidate the phenotypic differences between self-limited delayed puberty (SLDP) and congenital hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (HH) in order to optimize patient management and pubertal development. The results showed significant differences between SLDP and HH patients in terms of height, weight, associated features, and family history. However, accurately distinguishing between HH and SLDP remains challenging.

Androgen-dependent miR-125a-5p targets LYPLA1 and regulates global protein palmitoylation level in late-onset hypogonadism males

Mengyuan Qu, Yunhan Zhao, Xingrong Qing, Xinzong Zhang, Honggang Li

Summary: In patients with Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) and castrated mice, supplementation of testosterone led to upregulation of miR-125a-5p in plasma, which was positively associated with testosterone concentrations. Further analysis revealed LYPLA1 as a target gene of miR-125a-5p, and testosterone deficiency resulted in decreased global protein palmitoylation level. Our findings suggest that testosterone may regulate global palmitoylation level through the miR-125a-5p/LYPLA1 signaling pathway in LOH, potentially contributing to the molecular mechanism underlying LOH symptoms.

Hiroki Koyasu, Shigeo Horie, Kazuhito Matsushita, Takeshi Ashizawa, Satoru Muto, Shuji Isotani, Tohru Tanaka, Motowo Nakajima, Akira Tsujimura

Summary: This study confirmed the efficacy and safety of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) for eugonadal patients with late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) symptoms. The results showed that 8 weeks of 5-ALA intake was beneficial for improving LOH symptoms and no severe treatment-emergent adverse events were experienced.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gelatinized Maca in eugonadal patients with late onset hypogonadism symptoms (LOH). The results showed that the Maca treated group had significantly improved AMS, IIEF, and IPSS scores compared to the placebo group, and the ADAM positive rate was significantly decreased. Therefore, Maca may be considered an effective and safe treatment for LOH symptoms in eugonadal patients.

Self-focused attention related to social anxiety during free speaking tasks activates the right frontopolar area

Nozomi Tomita, Hiroaki Kumano

Summary: Self-focused attention and other-focused attention are essential factors in social anxiety. The study examined brain activities during speech tasks and found that the right frontopolar area and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex were more active in the self-focused attention condition, while the left superior temporal gyrus was more active in the other-focused attention condition. Moreover, it was discovered that individuals with higher social anxiety tended to have higher activity in the right frontopolar area, and this activity increased with higher subjective self-focused attention in the absence of attentional manipulation.

Summary: The CAS-1R is a self-report measure designed to assess dysfunctional metacognition, which is a transdiagnostic predictor of psychological disorders. The CAS-1R was translated into Japanese and examined for its reliability and validity in a Japanese community sample. The results showed that the CAS-1R-J had an appropriate factor structure, good internal consistency, and validity to assess cognitive attentional syndrome and metacognitive beliefs among Japanese individuals.

Summary: The 24-item version of FFMQ showed acceptable validity and reliability in Japan, with approximately 80% variance shared with the original version. Although the 15-item version did not show satisfactory results, the associations between FFMQ and related concepts generally supported the construct validity of the short form.

Effects of the Attention Training Technique on Brain Activity in Healthy University Students Assessed by EEG Source Imaging

Kaori Usui, Issaku Kawashima, Nozomi Tomita, Toru Takahashi, Hiroaki Kumano

Summary: The study examined the neurocognitive effects of the Attention Training Technique (ATT) on healthy participants. Twenty university students practiced ATT for 20 days as a homework assignment. Changes in brain activity were observed during selective attention, attention switching, and divided attention conditions. Results showed decreased alpha 1 frequency band power in the left orbital frontal cortex and alpha 2 power in the right inferior temporal cortex during the divided attention condition. These changes may reflect the impact of ATT practice but further research with a control group is needed.
